Provincial and Local Level Government Affairs Minister Soroi Eoe was asked on the floor of Parliament today to clarify the correct dates for the Local Level Government Elections, following the release of two separate notices by the PNG Electoral Commission containing different sets of dates.

The Member for Abau, Sir Puka Temu, raised the question, stating that there is confusion surrounding the election schedule due to the conflicting notices issued by the Electoral Commission.

Minister Eoe in response agreed that the first and second notices did cause some confusion among the public, however he clarified that the second notice with writs being issued on the 24th of April and writs to be returned by the 25th of August are the correct dates for the LLG Election.
